Philosophy of Athletics Interscholastic athletics in Meridian Public Schools are considered to be an extension of the physical education program, and its purpose is to aid in the development of leadership, cooperation, sportsmanship, physical fitness, and the competitive spirit in our students, and in turn, an integral part of the overall educational program of the school. As part of the educational program, each individual sport will be conducted so that the physical, social, and mental well-being of each student is its top priority. II. Overview Each athlete should understand that participation in Meridian athletics is a privilege that should be held with high regard. The conduct of each athlete on and off the field is a direct reflection of his or her self, school, family, and community. Therefore, an athlete's conduct should reflect the highest values and standards of his or her school and family. It must be understood that the privilege of participation may be taken away in part or as a whole should an athlete's conduct not be satisfactory. The rules and regulations governing an athlete's conduct are listed in this athletic code. Should an athlete be found to be in violation of this athletic code, the corresponding discipline will be applied. III. Eligibility A. Academics: Students must have received credit in 66% of their classes in the previous semester in which they were in enrolled. Students must also be passing 80% of their credits each week during the semester (starting at week four). The Athletic Director will notify ineligible athletes on Monday of the week that they are ineligible. Since grades are based cumulatively by semester, it is possible for a student to move back and forth between being eligible and ineligible from week to week. Once students are notified, they are ineligible for that entire week (Monday through Sunday). The student athlete may still be required to attend practice and accompany the team to contests. B. Age and Residency: There are many guidelines governing "Age and Residency" in the "M.H.S.A.A. Rules of Eligibility". Meridian Public Schools is a member of the M.H.S.A.A. and will follow its rules regarding age and residency where applicable to student-athletes. Any questions regarding this area should be directed to the Athletic Director for explanation. C. Transfers Following Violations of a School's Student/Athlete Code: Meridian High School will enforce upon a transfer student any period of ineligibility to which that student would have been subject as a result of a student or athletic code violation(s) at that student's most recent previously attended school. A student who transfers to Meridian High School after becoming ineligible because of a student or athletic conduct code violation(s) at the previously attended school shall remain ineligible at Meridian High School for not less than the period of ineligibility imposed by the previous school. D. Attendance: Students must be in school and attend their scheduled classes for the entire day to be eligible to attend practice or games on that day. Pre-arranged absences such as funerals, doctor and dentist appointments, etc., will allow participation, if it is arranged with the proper building administrator prior to the absence, and with proof of attendance at the appointment. If multiple absences occur a physician's letter may be required. E. Training Rules: Rules must be adhered to by all athletes, at all times, regardless of location. Training rules are in effect for all athletes for the entire calendar year. The athletic year constitutes a full year (365 days) when an individual chooses to participate in the athletic program. All reported training violations will be investigated by school administrators and the affected sport coach. Penalties will be implemented from the date that school administrators are notified, not the date the incident occurred. In addition, the athlete will be given the opportunity to respond to the charges by giving his or her side of the story. 2 ATHLETIC TRAINING RULES All student athletes are required to maintain a drug-free status in order to assure their continued and uninterrupted participation in their chosen sport and to assure health, safety and welfare. Possession and/or Use of Tobacco Products, Alcohol or Controlled Substances A. Violations 1. Meridian High School student athletes shall not use, possess or be under the influence of any product containing tobacco, any product containing alcohol, or any "illegal substance", including, but not limited to inhalants, marijuana, cocaine, LSD, PCP, amphetamines, heroin, steroids, look- alike drugs or any substance commonly referred to as "designer drugs". This also includes performance-enhancing drugs/supplements. Student athletes may not engage in the unauthorized use or sharing of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. 2. Breaking of State and Federal laws, such as stealing, vandalism, immoral conduct, indecent conduct, and other such conduct that is determined to be unbecoming of an athlete are violations of the student Code of Conduct. 3. Evidence from any Meridian Public Schools employee, student or law enforcement unit shall be considered in any investigation under these rules. 4. A building administrator shall have the authority to determine, after his/her investigation, if a violation of the above rules has occurred and shall notify the student athlete and parent/guardian of the violation and penalty. Upon notification of an offense the student will be suspended from the team (games and practices) effective immediately, until an investigation is completed. 5. Note: If a suspension from school is greater than would have been imposed under the athletic training rules, the suspension of school outweighs the penalty that would have normally been imposed under this policy and the student cannot participate in athletics during the period of suspension from school. Confirmation of Violations Once confirmation of a violation of a student athlete's drug free status has been obtained under the terms of this program, a student will be subject to, but not limited by, the following disciplinary consequences and process. These actions are uniform throughout the athletic department for all teams and individuals of those teams. B. Penalties: There are four goals for penalties related to violations: 1. To put the ownership of these violations with the student athlete. 2. To offer a process for change. 3. To attempt to draw in the parents to participate in the process. 4. To give the student athlete every possible opportunity to rectify such behaviors. First Offense Student athlete shall receive 25% suspension of season from play; this can be reduced to two weeks if the student athlete takes part in an education/counseling program addressing the issues, which have resulted in said consequences. Student and parent are responsible for finding and paying for the program. During this time the student athlete must practice but may not suit or compete. EDUCATION: an informative intervention seminar concerning the implications of use and the effect on physiological, psychological and social development, as well as discussion of harm reduction issues and personal and collective responsibility. CORRECTIVE: come to an understanding that corrective measures are necessary in order to resume the athletic career and compete again, including a document of agreed to changes signed by the student athlete. RESTORATIVE: the student athlete must address the teammates and coaches and admit to violation, show remorse and recommit to provisions of The Code of Conduct by re-signing it in front of teammates and coaches. 3 Second Offense The student athlete shall either (1) receive a one year (12 calendar months) suspension from practice and games or (2) attend a counseling program AND sit out the current and/or next sports season In which athlete has previously participated. It Is the responsibility of student/parent to find and pay for program. Third Offense The third offense triggers full expulsion from the Athletic Program for the remainder of the student's high school career. Appeal Process Student athletes have the right to appeal a decision made regarding dismissals/suspensions to the Athletic Review Panel. A student athlete shall remain under suspension until the Review Panel can meet. The Review Panel will meet within three (3) school days after the request for appeal. A decision by the Review Panel will be made In a reasonable amount of time (approximately 24 hours). The Athletic Review Panel shall be made up of: (1) A building administrator (2) Director of Athletics (3) Two coaches from other teams. IV. Responsibility of Athlete A. Equipment: Athletes may not exchange equipment during the season without the permission of the coach. All changes must be noted; as athletes are responsible for the equipment they are given. Athletes will be required to pay for equipment they are given that Is not returned. All uniforms and equipment owned by the school are to be returned to the coach within two days of the last game of the season.

  • The Cost of Changing Athletic Conferences Jack K
    The Cost of Changing Athletic Conferences Let’s first start by simply reviewing the one-way mileage from Farwell to schools in the Jack Pine Conference and to those schools in the Mid State Conference: Jack Pine Conference Schools: Mid State Conference Schools: Beaverton- 21 miles Ashley- 60 miles Clare- 5 miles Blanchard Montabella- 35 miles Gladwin- 30 miles Breckenridge- 47 miles Harrison- 18 miles Carson City- Crystal- 55 miles Meridian- 30 miles Coleman- 18 miles Pinconning- 50 miles Merrill- 49 miles Shepherd- 29 miles Mt. Pleasant Scared Heart- 21 miles St. Charles- 67 miles Vestaburg- 33 miles The table points out that the average travel distance to Jack Pine Conference Schools is 26 miles one way (52 miles roundtrip) whereas the average distance to schools in the Mid State Conference is 43 miles (86 miles round trip) or an increase of 34 miles round trip. But just don’t think of this in terms of miles, think in terms of time, and not travel time via car, but by schools’ buses on the road over the cost of a year for athletic trips. I believe that your bus superintendent will be able to give you a clear picture in terms of eXtra dollars it will cost for drivers, substitute drivers to cover a bus route, and the cost for substitute teachers for added time when coaches (particularly for spring sports) will need to leave early. In my home district, I have had many people complain not only about the added travel time for students, but the added costs to the district since switching conferences.
